dairyqueenlatifah - 2017-03-30 According to her son who, ironically, grew up and became a Baptist minister, she was a very evil woman who did all sorts of horrible things to rob and fuck over people. She also publicly disowned him for converting to Christianity, which makes her a loathsome cunt on the same level as the religious nutters who disown their kids for adopting atheism/some different religion.

I'm curious if this film will delve into any of that and maintain a more nuanced look at her, or if it will go the route most films of this nature go and just paint her as a sympathetic minimally flawed martyr who died because of her beliefs, or in her case, lack thereof.

You do release he made up a bunch of bullshit stories about her to vindicate his own beliefs about "Evil atheists" and his hard core right-wing fundamentalist leanings? Right? In fact, it's pretty telling the only media outlets giving any serious weight to her son's BS claims (which have never been confirmed apart from her hatred of his conversion) are fake news style, Breitbart-esque shithouses. It's suspected he was also the source of the bullshit claims she and her organization were trying to get religious shows taken off of TV which was then used to grift donations from gullible believers to send money to organizations to "fight" the supposed attempt.

Murray (the son) has long also supported basically allowing the government to prosecute atheists and forcing religion into virtually every public sector of life via the government by force. I'd say he's a way bigger piece of shit than she could have ever possibly be, frankly.

Oh, hey..you typed with proper punctuation and capitalization. So..this isn't ironic? Or it is on some sub-level irony? Which level of dumb ignorant shit is it? Confused now.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2017-03-30 I'd say that it's a nuanced view. She certainly comes off as an asshole. But the first amendment principles she defended are argued well and in full. (Haven't seen the whole thing)

Regarding the question of who is the piece of shit loathsome cunt, I'll vote for whoever took the argument public first.

Xenocide - 2017-03-30 I heard the guy who invented science was a cannibal.

Cena_mark - 2017-03-31 The movie shows her as somewhat of a jerk, but that's the kind of person who was needed to take on the fights she fought. A nice guy who cares what other people think wouldn't have pissed off the majority of the nation. An asshole was needed for this role in history.

bac - 2017-03-30 happy I read up on how she died before I watch this movie.
